Renko Bars

Bertrand, now it works, it was my mistake: I did not select correctly the session template.
Thank you very much

Hi Guys,

My first day with Ninja and the board. I am trying to get regular small renko bars and when I go to the period field and put in renko and 4 (I want 4 ticks per box) or tick and 4 and the bars are way too long as well. I change to ticks with a 4 point value and that doesn't help either. Now this is the simulator I am using now. I need directions for both the sim and real time. I pray they are the same as I know nothing about coding.

thanks, fellas.

daytrader50, welcome to our forums here - what market / contract are you simulating here? 4 ticks would equal for example a point bar size if you used the popular ES 12-11 contract as example.

I am trading the most current NQ contract. Id like 4 tick renko bars. Thats 1 point, yes? But each instrument will be a different setting, isnt there a general way to set this and then change it for each instrument I choose? Seems if I am choosing renko from the drop down box, I should get boxes not long bars, correct? -)

thanks.

Correct, that's 4 then as well what you would need to input - this will vary of course across instruments and you would need to get a feel for which instruments / range you would use which Renko chart intervals. I'm sorry but I don't follow on your second comment - can you post a screenshot please of the Renko chart you got so we could look into? It would display as box style per default and could not be changed.

Could someone please explain when the Add being called in a bar type? Is it on each tick?

maxima, the Add() call goes into the Initialize() of your script.

You can then later check in your OnBarUpdate() from which bars object it's called via BarsInProgress.

thank you. but it was question to the users rather as you dont support this.

Add in the BarsType I meant.
